    The Wave Is Still Alive

    'Cause they're too busy texting:bash. I probably get waves 70% or more of the time in the DC area. Throw C6s out of the mix and it's more like 90%. Throw women out (no offense intended for those on this site) who must think I'm trying to flirt:dancenaughty and you're probably talking 95%. No...

    nelson84, Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my post above, which was addressed to both of you. I suggest you take your own advice and read the rules yourself before you make pointed responses calling out another member in this manner. Eric Whitaker CAC Community Administrator

    Question: C5 Exhaust systems

    I can speak from experience that factory stainless steel exhausts last quite a long time. How long? I can't say since I've yet to see any notable wear on any of mine. I bought a brand new Z24 in 1990 with SS exhaust and drove it through 14 Washington DC winters, complete with salted roads...

    Question: Inactivity and wear issues?

    Ditto on both points, especially the second one. When I had my 71 I never let it sit without either driving or at least starting once every couple of weeks and I never experienced any premature wear issues. Driving every week or so you should be fine. If you were in western PA the cold might...

    First off, welcome aboard! I'm sure we can figure this out for you. There aren't many things where there isn't someone here who's been there, done that.:eyerole Like the post above says, try a fresh battery first. They're dirt cheap. Are you getting tire pressure monitor errors on you DIC...

    Corvette Specialists

    Not sure what kind of work you need done but if it's body-related, I would suggest Stingrays Auto Body in Purcellville. I've never been there personally (knock on wood never needed to) but have known several people who swear by them. It's a small place so they aren't always fast but the work...

    Let's See Stunning C5 Photos

    Okay Remo, after all this time, I'm finally throwing my 98 into your thread. I took this shot last June while Kelly and I were cruising down US29 in Nelson County VA.

    Nelson84 and CFI-EFI, The two of you obviously have a history of locking horns on other sites. Those other sites may have tolerated the trolling comments and personal slights but that's not how things operate here as you no doubt saw in our Terms of Service, specifically the Rules of Conduct...

    Blog: GM should (still) kill the Corvette

    After reading this, I think I'll trade mine on a Toyota Pious <--intentional mispelling:D. Wait, I've never owned a car that wasn't capable of exceeding the speed limit - what have i been thinking all these years.:W

    Which would you purchase, 03 or 04

    I always say buy the newest you can afford but there really isn't much difference between 02-04 C5s. The prices have really taken a dive so this is a great time to buy one. As for what to look for, there really isn't much on a C5. Nylon bushings in the seat tracks can wear leading to the...

    Just how much whould I be driving this car?

    I've had my 98 for four years and I'm averaging just under 10k a year. The way I see it, I have three daily drivers, one just happens to be a lot faster and more fuel efficient than the other two:D. Drive it! JMHO

    Help! Help: How to add XM Radio to C5?

    I can't speak to the part about adding XM while keeping all else stock but I know several others have done so. Some have taken advantage of the ashtray area and I'm sure they'll chime in later. As for the MP3 (assuming you have an iPod) functionality, I'm going to be installing one of these...

    Watcha Think?

    I tossed mine for a couple of reasons. First, it looked like heck - black paint flaking all over the mufflers and tips were scratched up. Second, I replaced it in my garage so I had to cut the over-axle pipes, making it pretty much useless. Mine is a driver and I'm racking up the miles so...
